Wheel Maker – Build Your Own Spin Wheel
Most wheel tools give you a fixed set of segments and call it customisable. This one gives you the editor: rename every segment, recolour it, attach an image, weight the odds, and set how long the spin runs. Build it once, then save it for the next time.
How to Use the Wheel Maker
- Click Customize / Edit Wheel to open the editor with this starter wheel loaded.
- Rename each segment. Add or delete segments as needed — a wheel can hold over a thousand entries.
- Pick a colour per segment, or let the tool assign them. Colours are cosmetic and do not change the odds.
- Optionally attach an image to a segment, which is useful for prizes, logos or picture quizzes.
- Set the spin duration if you want a longer, more dramatic reveal, and adjust segment weights if some outcomes should be more likely than others.
- Save the wheel to reuse it, or copy the share link to send it to someone else.
Why Use the Wheel Maker
- Real control over the segments, not just a text field — colours, images, weights and spin length are all yours.
- Save and reload a wheel so events, lessons and recurring draws do not start from scratch.
- Share a link so a co-host or colleague opens exactly the wheel you built, not an approximation of it.
- No install and no account required to build and spin.
What you can change
- Segments: add, remove, rename and reorder. This is the part most tools limit; here the list is yours.
- Colours: assign a colour per segment so related options group visually — red for "no" answers, for example.
- Images: attach a picture to a segment. Good for prize wheels with product photos, or vocabulary wheels for language learners.
- Weights: make some outcomes more likely than others. Useful for testing a game's balance, or for deliberately uneven prize tiers.
- Spin duration: from a quick flick to a long, suspenseful slowdown.
- Mystery mode: hide the labels until the wheel stops, so the outcome is a reveal rather than a countdown.
Wheels worth building first
- A prize wheel for an event: one segment per prize tier, images of each prize, weighted so the big prize is rare.
- A classroom wheel: your class register, saved once, reused every lesson.
- A chores or tasks wheel: the household jobs, spun instead of negotiated.
- A restaurant or takeaway wheel: the places you actually argue about, so the argument ends in four seconds.
- A truth-or-dare or party wheel: prompts loaded in advance so the game does not stall while someone thinks of one.
Sharing a wheel versus sending a screenshot
A screenshot proves what the wheel looked like once. A share link opens the real thing, with the same segments in the same order, ready to spin. If you run a recurring draw — a weekly giveaway, a monthly team pick — save the wheel and reuse the link each time rather than rebuilding it, which also means the rules stay identical between rounds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the wheel maker free?
Yes. Building, spinning, saving and sharing a wheel are free and do not require an account.
How many options can a wheel hold?
Over a thousand. Practical wheels usually have between six and twenty segments, because each one needs to stay readable on screen.
Can I add images to segments?
Yes. Each segment can carry an image, which works well for prize wheels with product photos or for picture-based classroom activities.
What do the weights do?
Weights let you make some outcomes more likely than others. Leave them equal for a fair wheel; change them when you deliberately want uneven odds, such as rare top prizes.
Can I save my wheel and come back to it?
Yes. Saving stores the wheel so you can reload the same segments later. Saving requires an account; building and spinning do not.
Can someone else spin the wheel I made?
Yes — share the link and they open the same wheel. That is more reliable than describing it, and ensures you are both spinning identical odds.
